  45  *  \section Sec_Description Project Description:
  46  *
  47  *  This bootloader enumerates to the host as a CDC Class device (virtual serial port), allowing for AVR109
  48  *  protocol compatible programming software to load firmware onto the AVR.
  49  *
  50  *  Out of the box this bootloader builds for the USB1287, and will fit into 4KB of bootloader space. If
  51  *  you wish to enlarge this space and/or change the AVR model, you will need to edit the BOOT_START and MCU
  52  *  values in the accompanying makefile.
  53  *
  54  *  When the bootloader is running, the board's LED(s) will flash at regular intervals to distinguish the
  55  *  bootloader from the normal user application.
  56  *
  57  *  \section Sec_Installation Driver Installation
  58  *
  59  *  After running this bootloader for the first time on a new computer, you will need to supply the .INF
  60  *  file located in this bootloader project's directory as the device's driver when running under Windows.
  61  *  This will enable Windows to use its inbuilt CDC drivers, negating the need for custom drivers for the
  62  *  device. Other Operating Systems should automatically use their own inbuilt CDC-ACM drivers.
  63  *
  64  *  \section Sec_HostApp Host Controller Application
  65  *
  66  *  This bootloader is compatible with the open source application AVRDUDE, Atmel's AVRPROG, or other
  67  *  applications implementing the AVR109 protocol, which is documented on the Atmel website as an application
  68  *  note.
  69  *
  70  *  \subsection SSec_AVRDude AVRDUDE (Windows, Mac, Linux)
  71  *
  72  *  AVRDude is a free, cross-platform and open source command line programmer for Atmel and third party AVR
  73  *  programmers. It is available on the the Windows platform as part of the "WinAVR" package, or on other systems
  74  *  either from a build from the official source code, or in many distributions as a precompiled binary package.
  75  *
  76  *  To load a new HEX file with AVRDude, specify "AVR109" as the programmer, with the allocated COM port. On Windows
  77  *  platforms this will be a COMx port name:
  78  *  \code
  79  *  avrdude -c AVR109 -p at90usb1287 -P COM0 -U flash:w:Mouse.hex
  80  *  \endcode
  81  *
  82  *  On Linux systems, this will typically be a /dev/ttyACMx port name:
  83  *  \code
  84  *  avrdude -c AVR109 -p at90usb1287 -P /dev/ttyACM0 -U flash:w:Mouse.hex
  85  *  \endcode
  86  *
  87  *  Refer to the AVRDude project documentation for additional usage instructions.
  88  *
  89  *  \section Sec_API User Application API
  90  *
  91  *  Several user application functions for FLASH and other special memory area manipulations are exposed by the bootloader,
  92  *  allowing the user application to call into the bootloader at runtime to read and write FLASH data.
  93  *
  94  *  By default, the bootloader API jump table is located 32 bytes from the end of the device's FLASH memory, and follows the
  95  *  following layout:
  96  *
  97  *  \code
  98  *  #define BOOTLOADER_API_START(Index)        (void*)(((FLASHEND - 32) + (2 * Index)) / 2)
  99  *  void    (*BootloaderAPI_ErasePage)(uint32_t Address)               = BOOTLOADER_API_START(0);
 100  *  void    (*BootloaderAPI_WritePage)(uint32_t Address)               = BOOTLOADER_API_START(1);
 101  *  void    (*BootloaderAPI_FillWord)(uint32_t Address, uint16_t Word) = BOOTLOADER_API_START(2);
 102  *  uint8_t (*BootloaderAPI_ReadSignature)(uint16_t Address)           = BOOTLOADER_API_START(3);
 103  *  uint8_t (*BootloaderAPI_ReadFuse)(uint16_t Address)                = BOOTLOADER_API_START(4);
 104  *  uint8_t (*BootloaderAPI_ReadLock)(void)                            = BOOTLOADER_API_START(5);
 105  *  void    (*BootloaderAPI_WriteLock)(uint8_t LockBits)               = BOOTLOADER_API_START(6);
 106  *  \endcode
 107  *
